AI slop and DDG

2025-12-08 19:05:26.744889+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

AskMeFi question about Duck Duck Go results shows the summary for the Wikipedia result, that I've replicated, as:

Williot Swedberg is a Swedish footballer who plays for Celta Vigo and the Sweden national team. He started his career at Hammarby IF and was named one of the best young talents in 2004 by The Guardian.

What Wikipedia actually says is:

In October 2021, Swedberg was named as one of the 60 best young talents in world football born in 2004, by the English newspaper The Guardian.

[Emphasis mine]

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ gives the same bogosity, so this is probably something that's crept in from Bing. https://www.startpage.com/ gives a shorter summary.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
